## Resource

Dan Bernstein has a clear message for Craig Counsell and the Chicago Cubs: don’t panic. 0:00 Cubs 15:30 NBA 28:00 Kyle Busch 46:40 Local Hunger 57:40 DBU Picks Despite a brutal 9-game losing streak that’s knocked the Cubs out of first place, Bernstein urges patience and perspective as the season grinds on. Is this just a rough stretch, or something deeper? We shift to the NBA Playoffs, where the Western Conference has delivered absolute fire. OKC and San Antonio have put on a show, while the Knicks sit and wait to see who earns the right to meet them in the Finals. We break down the matchups, the stars, and what’s next. Plus, we react to the tragic death of Kyle Busch — a loss that raises serious questions about safety and prevention. We wrap it all up with DBU Picks, giving you our best bets and insights.
